Re: A '62 has to get back on the road
Something new from the workshop
My 1962 C10 has axles with a 5x4.75 bolt circle and they have 1" thick brake discs, the trucks usually have 1.25" thick brake discs, also a 5x5 bolt circle, now it should be lower, using Dropspindles. WesternChassis has 2.5" dropspindles for 1" thick brake discs for C10 from the years 73-87. Now you have to dig deep into the Chevy kit to build it on a 63 axle that is installed under the 62. Brake disc comes from the 91 Camaro 1LE, which is identical to the truck brake disc, but has a 5x4.75 bolt circle and the bearings are the same, fits. Ball joints come from 73-87, everything fits in, Chevrolet hasn't changed anything there, has already tested and fits. The tie rods are trickier, on the outside they come from the 73-87, they have a right-hand thread and are 11/16", the 63 outer tie rod has a left-hand thread and is 5/8" thick So the outer '63 tie rod moves inwards and replaces the inner '63 tie rod with right-hand thread. From POL there is an adapter sleeve 11/16" right-hand thread and 5/8" left-hand thread to connect and voila the suspension is ready. Caliper comes from the 70-87 Camaro. The calipers have been revised. All the tips came here from the ChevyTruckforum, thank you again.
